$156 USD ReducedREDUCED Victorian Watch Fob, Braided Hair Chain with Watch Key
Jewelry:Antique
This watch chain made of braided hair dates from the Victorian era when a popular craft was to use a loved ones hair for a sentimental memento. This watch chain is made of dark brown and lighter brown hairs, each strand beautifully braided and then twisted together.

$113 USD SaleSALE Victorian Belt Buckle Three Pieces, on Original Leather Belt
Jewelry:Antique
Very rarely will you find a complete three-piece buckle set on its original belt. This ornate Victorian buckle set is shown on its pink leather belt (which incidentally would have fit someone with a 26 waist). The leather is in poor shape, but the stamped gold-metal buckle is still in very good condition and only needs a new belt to make it the perfect addition to your vintage costume. The piece which fits at the back of the waist measures 4 by 1-7/8 inches, and the buckle with prongs measures ...

This lovely lavaliere from the turn of the last century is a pointed oval of stamped metal with an elaborate design, finished with a gold wash and antiqued highlighting. In the center of the pendant is a bezel-set oval stone resembling a turquoise, accented above with a pretty leaf. The box chain is attached to the pendant by a pretty bail with a floral design. There are no manufacturer or metal marks on the pendant or the chain. The pendant measures 1 by 1-1/2 inches, and the total length of ...
$126 USDBeetle Brooch, Carnelian Cabochon Body - Victorian Era Delight
Jewelry:Antique
The Victorians loved beetle jewelry, and I especially like this one. The head, legs, antennae and wings are made of a gold-color metal. There are two rhinestone eyes. The body of the beetle is a large red-brown carnelian cabochon stone, set firmly into the mounting. The pinstem, which is slightly bent, fits into a tube clasp, which dates this unique piece to the middle-to-late 1800s. The brooch measures 1-3/4 by 1-1/8 inches, and is in very good condition. There are no manufacturers marks. This ...
$57 USD SaleSALE Victorian Brooch Coral Branch in Pretty Setting
Jewelry:Antique
Coral was a very popular gemstone for jewelry in Victorian and earlier days, as it was thought to protect the wearer, including children, from various mental and physical illnesses. In this pretty brooch, the coral branch is wound around with a gold-metal wire which it is not marked and has not been tested. The brooch has a simple C-clasp, and the pin-stem extends beyond the edge of the brooch, as was common in the 1800s this was inserted back into the dress fabric as a safety feature. The ...| Items 1 - 5 of 5 | Page 1 of 1 |
